Directions The following points will be discussed at the beginning of at least one committee meeting per year. We encourage you to incorporate these slides directly into the beginning of a committee meeting presentation, or, alternatively turn these topics into a handout for each committee member. The Scientific Update section summarizes what you have done at Emory. As you continue at Emory, you may need more slides/space. All entries since the last committee meeting should be highlighted in some way (bold, different color, etc) The Goals section should emphasize career goals and training objectives more so than specific goals on your dissertation research, which will be the focus of the remainder of your committee meeting.

Goals - Beyond Grad School What are your goals after graduate school? Have they changed over the last year and if so, why? How will the next year’s work align with your long term goals? Are their gaps in your development and what measures could be taken to fill those gaps?

Goals – Science and Career Scientific Skill Development Goals List goals for the next 6-12 months in terms of scientific skills (techniques) and how you will achieve them. Other Professional Development Goals List goals for the next 6-12 months in terms of professional development (career planning, speaking, mentoring skills, etc.)and how you will achieve them.
